We were really hoped that the user experience was on the mind of Gigabyte’s engineers when they planned it out. Too bad it looked promising, if nothing else.Īgain we must say that we were expected alot from Gigabyte’s new UEFI BIOS. Then we downloaded EasyTune6 from the official website but the result were the same.
GIGABYTE EASYTUNE 6 REVIEW SOFTWARE
We even tried reinstalling it, but the software refused to respond. Just as we first ran it, browsed a bit and later decided to take some screenshots of the application it crashed and nothing could get it running again. Gigabyte’s EasyTune 6 software looks great something like Asus’s AI Suite (although its isn’t that intuitive) but looks from the use is a whole different story. But my God an excuse was needed for all of those SLI bridges, or was it the other way around? Oh well.Ģx 2133 Mhz Kingston HyperX Beast : KHX21C11T3K2/16X We already said that we think this is overkill for this type of platform (or any other). Eight 6Gbit/s SATA ports are present for your disposal and we think that this will satisfy even the most demanding users who can never have enough SATA ports.įive PCI-Express 2.0 slots reminds us again that we bought a 990FX motherboard. The cooler on the Southbridge (SB950 chipset) is also very well made and very well composed and designed in order to fit the styling of the upper coolers. Gigabyte has solved any potential heating issues aswell. They carry the Ultra Durable tag, and we must agree that its justifies its name as you will later see. Passive coolers on the power phases and chipset are well built and connected via heat pipes in order to dissipate heat efficiently.
GIGABYTE EASYTUNE 6 REVIEW INSTALL
We feel that Gigabyte should have provide at least two more, having in mind users that are planning to install water coolers. The board comes with five fan headers, its not bad, but not too impressive. It is clear that it was made in order for people to like it, which isn’t something that we could say for some of the previous Gigabyte motherboards. The mobo is designed with style, and if we need to express our opinion about its looks, its designers have taste.
The motherboard is massive and looks promising but then again we didn’t expect anything less from Gigabyte.
GIGABYTE EASYTUNE 6 REVIEW FULL
The board comes in full black PCB with black slots and grey passive coolers on phases, chipset and on the Southbridge.
GIGABYTE EASYTUNE 6 REVIEW MANUALS
Standard backplate with Driver CD and Manuals are also part of the content with unavoidable stickers. However since the manufactures pay Nvidia the license to use SLi technology it could be that the triple SLi bridge is part of the deal, so I doubt Gigabyte had a lot of choice in this matter. Users would find this a little better, since its more likely that this board will be used for a dual GPU set up and it would have been nice to give users who prefer CF a choice as well. We find this a bit too much, maybe the better option would have been if they included a Crossfire bridge instead of the triple SLI one. Gigabyte comes with 4 SATA 6Gb/s connectors, a SLI bridge and just to show they mean business when they say multi GPU support they have included a triple SLI bridge as well. ***Note : The products are not free from the companies, we by them with our own money and test*** This motherboard carries a ~$150 price tag and this review will help to determine if it really justifies its price.
GIGABYTE EASYTUNE 6 REVIEW UPDATE
Easy Tune has lived to see its 6th update and we are all hoping that they managed to improve it. Another feature Gigabyte has been lacking compared to Asus is its software. This is something that would help give Gigabyte an advantage against competitors, as it already has affordable solutions compared to the same spec boards of giants like Asus. Gigabyte has always been known for its good build quality but in terms of the BIOS people always have had a bit of a nightmare when it comes to finding there way around (even for the hardcore Gigabyte fans). Since this version of the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 features the UEFI BIOS we expected a friendlier user interface. It doesn’t feature that much more but its good to note the differences of one more PCI-E x16, a better audio chipset and one less PCI-E x1 slot in the UD7 model compared to the UD5. The only other motherboard that Gigabyte offers that is better (with a $50 higher price ) is its big brother the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7. This chipset brings multi-GPU support of up to 4 graphic cards. Today we unbox the Gigabyte AMD 990FXA-UD5 Rev 3.0, one of the best Gigabyte AM3+ motherboards based on the 990FX chipset.
